Natural oxidation to form the secondary zone had resulted in a concentration of silver and lead, and ore from this section of the ore-body could be smelted directly. The underlying sulfide zone, which comprised the bulk of the resource, was less amenable to treatment in the smelters of that era, and a method was required to recover the metal ...
Zinc complexes are more likely to cause trouble in the cyanidation of silver ores because such ores contain much more silver than a gold ore contains gold. Thus, a much larger amount of zinc is required to precipitate the dissolved silver, resulting in cyanide solutions carrying a relatively high percentage of zinc cyanogen complexes and …
Silver is generally found in the combined state in nature, usually in copper or lead mineralization, and by 2000 bce mining and smelting of silver-bearing lead ores was under way. Lead ores were smelted to obtain an impure lead-silver alloy, which was then fire refined by cupellation.
Kinetics, as a fundamental requirement of nearly all industrial activities and engineering researches, plays a great role in leaching processes. Although there are many pieces of research on its application, there is not a clear pathway for investigating the kinetics of leaching and researchers usually follow different strategies in their studies. The …

The ore treated in the vat leaching operation of the Inspiration Consolidated Copper Co. (fig. 22) is mixed oxide-sulfide ore. Presently chrysocolla is the predominant oxide mineral and chalcopyrite is the predominant sulfide mineral. Early methods of leaching Inspiration ore have been described by Aldrich and Scott and Van Arsdale.
Most silver leaching operations produce from ores grading 1 to 4 oz/ton. The easiest ores to leach are those that have been weathered or oxidized, liberating the gold or silver from pyrite or other encapsulating minerals. A variety of mineralogical conditions can hamper or prevent leaching of an ore.
The leaching effectiveness depends largely on the efficiency of the microorganisms and on the chemical and mineralogical composition of the ore to be leached. The maximum yields of metal extraction can be achieved only when the leaching conditions correspond to the optimum growth conditions of the bacteria.
In order to achieve efficient leaching of silver, in waste photovoltaic panels, the leaching process using nitric acid was investigated. The effects of nitric acid concentration, leaching time, solid–liquid ratio, and leaching temperature on the silver leaching rate were examined.
